Nuo opera (Nuo opera of Buyi Nationality in Libo)

Applicant: Libo County, Guizhou Province

Libo Buyi Nuo opera originated in the song and Yuan Dynasties. It was taught to Libo Buyi area by Yushi, the ancestor of Nuo opera altar in si'en County, Hechi area, Guangxi. Libo Buyi Nuo opera is divided into Wenxi and Wuxi. There are more than ten kinds of operas, such as "requite the God to return a vow", "worship the Lord of the three realms" and "sacrifice the God tree". It belongs to Nuo Jiaxi type, and is called "bridge" among Buyi people, which is divided into "small bridge" and "big bridge". The bridge lasted for more than 7 days, with a maximum of 13 days. There were opera performances and masks. Xiaoqiao for three days, no opera performance, no mask. These cultural forms are closely related to the specific natural environment of Buyi Nationality.

The inheritance of Nuo opera does not stick to the family inheritance. It recruits apprentices in the nation, regardless of region and surname. It can be passed on to both male and female, and it can be passed on to all married men with children. The inheritance of Nuo opera mainly depends on oral and psychological teaching. With the social change, the inheritors died one after another, and the props of Nuo opera such as Libo Libo Libo Libo Libo Libo Libo Nuo opera were damaged and lost.
